2019 Francis Coppola Claret
Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nDark and luscious, the 2020 Diamond Collection Claret brings together fragrant notes, good length, firm tannins, and sophisticated character, enhanced by a full body and long finish.\r\nAbout Coppola Winery\r\nWinemaking has been a Coppola family tradition for several generations. Agostino Coppola, Francis Coppola\u2019s grandfather, used to make wine in the basement of his New York apartment building using concrete vats he constructed himself. According to Francis\u2019s Uncle Mikey, they weren\u2019t fancy wines, just pleasant everyday drinking wines that anyone could enjoy.\r\nThe wines that Francis Coppola makes today aren\u2019t the same as those Agostino made, but they are produced in the same spirit\u2014for sharing with friends and family.\r\nOver 35 years ago, when Francis and Eleanor Coppola and their kids were living in San Francisco, the family began looking for a small cottage in Napa Valley that they could use as a weekend retreat where they could make a little homemade wine. The family cottage they found turned out to be the great Niebaum Mansion in Rutherford, on the famed Inglenook Estate. Suddenly, the prospect of restoring that legendary property sounded far more exciting than making a little bit of wine in the basement.\r\nOnce they had successfully accomplished the estate\u2019s restoration\u2014a 30-year endeavor\u2014the Coppola family decided to build a new winery in Sonoma County so that at long last they could create a home for their ever-popular Diamond Collection and Rosso & Bianco wine brands. Since these wines have always reflected the gracious style of everyday living,\u00a0Francis Ford Coppola Winery\u00a0is now the ideal place for friends and family to enjoy our award-winning wines, enjoy a bite to eat, and simply relax in a comfortable, casual setting |
